11.5.11 Repeating report objects on horizontal pages
Some report objects, such as cross-tabs and OLAP grids, can expand horizontally over a number of
pages. Crystal Reports lets you designate other report objects that don't expand horizontally, such as
text objects, field objects, OLE objects, charts, maps, lines, boxes, and so on, to be repeated on each
additional horizontal page that the cross-tab or OLAP grid creates. For example, if your report's page
footer includes an image, a text object, and a page number, you can use the Format Editor to make
Crystal Reports repeat these objects on each horizontal page.
